    Williams has said he wants to fight you. It takes two to tango. So why not? I think it is the wrong fight to happen for boxing overall because it could ruin Williams or make him look bad even if he wins a decision against you. And I'm saying that as a fan of both you and Williams. I just think there's other options for Williams at this point. But a part of me actually wants to see it because I don't want you to wait around and take a fight with another guy like Adamek or Dawson without knocking off some ring rust. That is one aspect I like about the fight. But I'll be rooting for you when it happens even though I like Williams too. He views you as a weak link on your way out like Pavlik did, and it would be kind of an opportunistic move on his part since you are 44 years old. But he's got to get his name out there some way, so I can't blame him at the same time. I just always root for the old guard to defy logic.

      There are not many fighters out there for me Dawson, Adamek and Williams are three possible fights but all want to be paid too much because they know theres a more than good chance they will lose. If these fighters don't have big fan bases or big names and they want a good split at the same time it wont work, if HBO put big money on the table then we can do it but I'm the champ and these fighters need to take what they can get because i'm the man to beat.

        Adamek brings a good Polish crowd. But he is talking about fighting Golota. So I can see the conflict of interest there.

          I love BHop, but hes too inactive during rounds, while Paul on the other hand is non stop. Tough fight for the old man.

            it's a shame a guy lives on the internet calling people out with fake contracts and it's also a shame a guy as big as williams bitches to fight 5-9 through 5-11 guys weighing 147 lbs. you and him are a joke go take his **** and shove it through your nostrils.
